A Dangerous Method

David Cronenberg's newest release with Viggo Mortensen as Freud, Michael Fassbender as Jung and Kiera Knightley as the woman who is first introduced as a patient and then becomes a colleague. 
If you can get past the first 20 minutes or so of pure hysteria, and rather stylized acting and filmmaking/editing, the film does straighten out into a logical narrative that covers the first use of "the talking cure," and basically the invention of psychotherapy as shown through discussions with Freud and Jung.
The film is based on a 1992 book by John Kerr of the same title and at over 600 pages, I'm thinking there's a lot they were unable to include in the film. The film does get to some pretty interesting stuff, whether you know much about this time period or not. The beauty here is not the actors impersonation of these famous, iconic people, but the way ideas are communicated using film as the medium and how a couple of white guys in 1905 came to make sense of life, thought and dreams. Probably the best thing that can be said about the film is it's made me go look for the sources of all this history (all 3 characters were real people in the world).... in my book, that's a successful film experience.
